Candela Leaf is an incredibly rare tobacco leaf, known primarily for its looks! The green color of this leaf is obtained by quickly harvesting, and speed-drying the crop at a high temperature.
The verdant green hue of this tobacco is most commonly associated with its mild, leafy, almost floral taste and sweet, grassy aroma. This wrapper is truly unique in all aspects.
This high temperature, high speed drying process causes the chlorophyll to be trapped in the leaf, giving it the jade color which it is known for. Commonly used on pre-embargo cigars, this leaf is now only commonly found on mass produced machine-made cigars, and some few select high end boutique cigars.
"I am really impressed with the quality, freshness, and varieties available to me through Leafonly.com. Not only am I smoking less daily as a result of a better choice for my habit. I am enjoying blending, processing, and smoking my final result. Like a fine wine, brandy, or cognac that is precisely how I would describe my tobacco. Canadian organic flue cured to The robust St James Perique. I Went from two packs a day American Spirits to ten of my "designer" cigs. I am using a recycled pasta cutter. The spaghetti cutter is working great to process the leaves, the moisture content of the leaves upon arrival was perfect, I guess around 18%. Cut, gentle toss and its perfect for smoke. I even rolled a few cigarillos with my blend using the St James Perique as a wrapper. Successfully! Thank you, I do look forward to trying more variety as time goes on. "
